India participated in the G20 Agriculture Ministerial Meeting 2024 held in Cuiaba, Brazil.
The G20 Agriculture Ministerial Meeting serves as a critical forum for member nations to coordinate on global food security, trade regulations, and sustainable farming practices. In 2024, the meeting was hosted under the Brazilian Presidency with the overarching theme 'Building a Just World and a Sustainable Planet'. India's delegation, led by Minister of State for Agriculture Ram Nath Thakur, utilized the platform to strengthen bilateral ties with countries including the US, Japan, Germany, and the UAE, specifically focusing on agricultural technology transfer and market access for Indian produce.
The G20, or Group of 20, is an intergovernmental forum comprising 19 sovereign countries, the African Union, and the European Union, established to address major global economic issues. Agriculture is a recurring priority in G20 discussions due to its direct link to the UN's Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger) and Goal 13 (Climate Action).
